The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man."

Mahatma Ghandi (1869-1948)

My theory is that if ever anybody discovers the meaning of life and exactly what the universe is for and how and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre.

My other theory is that this has already happened

Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.

And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so.

How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.
